Biden lays wreath in US cemetery in France in trip that served as a rebuke to Trump
The Hill ^ | 06/09/2024

President Biden wrapped up his five-day trip to France with a Sunday visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, where more than 2,200 U.S. soldiers were buried after fighting in World War I.

Biden laid a wreath at the headstones of U.S. soldiers in a solemn ceremony marking their sacrifice for their country.

In remarks to the press, Biden stressed the importance of alliances and, without mentioning former President Trump explicitly, drew a stark contrast with the former president, who famously skipped his visit to the same cemetery in 2018. Trump cited weather at the time, but subsequent reporting revealed Trump expressed disinterest in visiting the cemetery, about an hour outside Paris, calling the fallen soldiers “losers” and “suckers.” Trump denied those reports.

Biden just couldn’t help playing politics into such a somber ceremony. It couldn’t wait until he got back to the states?

The MO of the Biden & co is to deflect their mistakes by fabricating stories. As soon as I heard the Biden campaign conjure the “loser and sucker” lie, I searched for a gaffe by Joe. Lo and behold it was a doozy and on video.

Bald faced lies. They have been debunked more than once. Weather precluded the use of helicopter borne assets to transport the President. CONFIRMED by the military.
